Preservation of Native Plants 
The accumulated income of the fund of $3,000, pre- 
sented to the Garden several years ago by the Misses 
Caroline and Olivia Phelps Stokes, now aggregates over 
$5,000. It is proposed to utilize this money for the illus- 
tration in color of certain wild flowers most needing 
protection from indiscriminate picking and to publish 
these colored illustrations with appropriate text in the 
Garden JouRNAL. 
Public Exhibits 
The Garden was given an alcove in the Budget Exhibit 
arranged by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment 
of the city in the autumn, and this was made up of screens 
on which maps, photographs and tabulated appropri- 
ations and expenditures were shown. At the Child 
Welfare Exhibit, held in February, a similar display 
was installed, with special reference to the occasion.
